Waiter, I think I have something stuck between my teeth. Oh thats a Peel Trident, sir. The tiny 2 seater Peel Trident was the second car from UK manufacturer, Peel. It is the most spacecraft like of all the 60s bubble cars, with a frameless plexiglass top.

Many bubble cars look like wingless cockpits or old fashioned strollers. The miniature Peel P50 takes its styling directly from a car, but is so tiny that in profile it looks like a single car door and nothing else.

The BMW Isetta was perhaps the definitive bubble car of the 60s, with its distinctive hinged front. Amazingly, this looks like a genuine police car version. Its the last thing you would want in a car chase on the Autobahn.

Along with Heinkel, Messerschmitt were another German plane manufacturer that bizarrely became famous for cute bubble cars. If the pared down BMW Isetta was the Vespa of the bubble car world, then the Messerschmitt was the Lambretta, a classic car for enthusiasts. It is also the car that cousin IT drives in the Addams family movie.
